Every car I ever bought was a V8 and yes I saved an extra couple years to get one. Sacrifice is a word young people need to get used to. Two jobs was a no brainer during my younger years raising a family and both me and my wife working those long hours.
When my daughter was looking for a modern muscle car it was between the Camaro SS, Mustang GT and Challenger 392. She test drove all three cars and decided on finding a Challenger online. Eventually after a year a leftover 2012 in the color combo she wanted was discounted $10k from Landmark Dodge in Morrow GA 700 miles away.
Last April 2013 the car was delivered. She saved and saved and yes saved and got the car of her dreams with a V8. Blue with silver stripes and its a true touring car.
So now you have the V6 and want some more performance. Get another job and pay the car off. Save for a V8. Sacrifice and waiting are two very important attributes in getting the car you really want not the one you settle on.

I've been saving for my first car since I can remember. All the birthday money I ever got I always told my dad I'm going to buy a "cool" car when I was 16. Well, 16 came and I got a pretty decent car all things considered, but I knew I wanted better. So I saved ALL my money over the next year and a half from an awesome restaurant job I had and I bought a 2LT/RS camaro when I was 17 years old. My parents paid for the extended warranty as a graduation gift.
I by no means settled, there was actually a 1SS that they would have sold to me for less, but I prefer the 2 over the 1. Yes I would like a 2SS but that'll be down the road. If I always waited and saved up for the car I wanted I would never buy a car. When I had enough for a SS why not save more and buy a ZL1? When I get to that point whey should I waste the money on a ZL1 when I could get a SRT Jeep? When I get to jeep money, now I want a Porsche 911.....
